[xhyosukx]

stop smacking your lips. It gets annoying sometimes.

[Sparckle4life2020]

i have this but got a mac so i put this one in the trash

[timesegment]

good vid- are you having crackly/tinny/bad sound audio problems?Also mouse freezing /erratic mouse & system lock up problems?

[Princ3ssSunshin3]

Mec book...lol :)

[heylarson]

you need to pause less between your sentences and stop saying 'um' for goodness sakes!!!

[lovelylace123]

your voice is annoying, stop smacking your lips like a bitch!!

[johnrockghost]

agree

[anakinseviltwin]

Its magnesium

[Tacci00]

Echt gutes Vid!

Hat spaß gemacht zu zu schaun!

Aber du kannst ruhig sagen dass du Deutsch bist!!!

[BrunoApple94]

Nice review! Can you tell me what kind of material has made the chassis? Aluminum? Plastic? Does that seem solid and elegant?

Thanks :)

[braunbaer86]

It is made from magnesium, which is very light but durable. In my opinion it looks elegant but also a bit "industrial like" because it has no round corners like the macbook. But I like that more instead of those stylish "paris hilton" or whatsoever notebooks.

[BrunoApple94]

Thanks :)

[NorthHuffman]

hhmm ever heard of counterstrike source? you think it can handle that on low details?

[braunbaer86]

yeah, quite sure

[NorthHuffman]

bidding on one thats only 100$ on ebay ;D

[braunbaer86]

good luck

[Thegamer5150]

its playable but I was doing HL2 I get around 20 to 50 frames outside and 50 to 60 frames inside but hey its a business laptop

[Thegamer5150]

I tired it with css source on recommended setting and this laptop is a gaming laptop in disguise it only gets up to 60 to 70 FPS and that was on small arena maps and surf maps but its still pretty KICK ASS

[MASTURCHEEF001]

@NorthHuffman HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA u be trollin! source engine is the lowest end game engine there is and yet it manages amazing graphics to boot. (that is why we love it) and you might be able to run it at high/very high.

[MASTURCHEEF001]

@NorthHuffman scratch that, HIGHEST, 4x AA

[crapskull]

braunbaer86...what exactly is rectangle icon to the right of the touchpad for? Is that for a cell phone or something?

[braunbaer86]

Beneath this is a contactless smart card reader.

[NorthHuffman]

can you put in a mouse? and how does it handle with video games?

[braunbaer86]

Yeah, of course. It has four USB ports, so you can use an USB mouse.

It also handles PC games like Battlefield 2 or so. I would say it should handle all games before 2006 or 2007.

[indiemuddy]

Great review, just please reducing your smacking lips when you talk. It becomes too annoying.

[woodsy42]

Thanks for the intro. It's very comprehensive.

[yakdung]

Video too dark.

[mayavenkat]

Thank you for the review. It was really helpful :)

[NightSniper2008]

Does it have an integrated web cam?

[braunbaer86]

Yes. But it has only 0.3 MPx, enough for skype and so on but nothing more...

[BlueGamakichi]

awesome laptop,. makes a macbook pro put to shame..

[sonicisback]

@BlueGamakichi old comment but

Actually no it sucks. it hogs system resources to make up for its bad video card =O

[raffenokia]

Was thinking of buying this laptop myself but i think it was to expensive. Need it for traveling mostly. Need something that is stabile and doesnt break when you sneeze on it :). I bought Dell Latitude D631 instead.

[SoftwareTutorial]

mine came with much more features like webcam 250gb hd 22" screen and more but it came as standard

[markathompson]

You gave up a Mac laptop for a Dell E6400, I would never do that. I own a MacBook Pro and its the most amazing laptop i have ever owned. I have been using windows PC's and Laptops all my life.

What were the problems you were having with the Mac Laptop?

[jabberwolf]

macbook pro - are for retards.

Same money save to buy an intel SSD and it will run circles around your macbook, and be more useful. OSX = for simpletons to do simple work.

PCs = for that dont pretend to think different but do, and do work, and have real jobs (not just blog).

[BlueGamakichi]

i like macs too, but.. over the time using them... they drive you kind of crazy, even with its unique platforming,.. dell is a windows vista based laptop, and i gotta tell you, its bleeding stable.and can play games mac users would never play, thats why they install windows on there macs.. dont get me wrong macbooks. arre a elegant nice piece of hardware.. im thinking of buying one.. for college. but windows is my main os.

[soldersucker]

Has this guy ever heard of a LAMP???

[Fotenks]

Thanks for the review, I'm probably going to get one of these. You could probably use some better lighting next time you do a review though, kind of hard to see sometimes.

[albert2090]

can you Play COD 4 on Dell e6400? Please let me know! Thank YOu!

[tomayres]

i've just bought a macbook its so good

the brushed aluminum scratches real easy

i had an old macbook first generation and its a big step up

been playing COD4 on the macbook and its so smooth

good video

[braunbaer86]

Good to hear man. Have fun with your computer :-)

[ybaabbad]

Great job,

About DVD drive come with E6400 "8X DVD +/- RW w/db" will do the CD/RW job or its only DVD/RW .

I know its general question but I am confuse a litle since I need Drive do the job as DVD/RW CD/RW in the same time

[braunbaer86]

Yes. It does DVD+/-R +/-RW and DL as well as CD-R/RW.

[cphadley]

Good first part of the review. I lost a HUGE amount of respect for Apple when they removed the Firewire port from the MacBook. Forcing people with MiniDV cameras to step up to a MacBook Pro is a really dumb decision in this economy. Major fail for Apple if you ask me. I, too, have moved back to Windows for this reason. I'm using a Core i7 desktop build and am researching a new laptop to go with it. Thanks for the review.

[ryknic]

dell latitudes are horrible. i have one and it worked 4 about 4 months (sorta) and then the screen messed up, then the hard drive, then everything else. the screen is horrible. the track pad is horrible and there's only one USB. i give it 2 thumbs down!

[braunbaer86]

Well, I think you had a different Latitude. MY Latitude has 4 USB ports (to be seen in my video) and the display is not "horrible". I am also very happy about the trackpad.

If your screen broke I am sorry for you but on the other hand if you really had this Latitude you should not bother about that because you have 3 years of warranty (like I do).

[bbl29]

How is the keyboard and the pointing stick? Do you like them?

[braunbaer86]

The keyboard is great. No loose buttons and they have a nice pressure point. The pointing stick is ok. I have to get used to it, so every now and then I try it but I use more often the trackpad. Despite that the stick is very precise too.

[tinyGreen21]

I might have to give this video a 1 star. :(

First you say you didn't like your mac. Then you sell it and get a gay dell!

my computer teacher made me get a dell cuz we had to have one for school! next year i sold it and bought a mac!

[954yglw]

mac to windows,i hope u come back to mac side how come u did not just buy a new macbook,anyway good review

[braunbaer86]

Wait for part 2, maybe that will answer your question. Thanks for your rating.
